The Version 2.0a distribution file includes Lotus Notes Command Line Client, Version 1.5, for Domino R5 users.
What is Lotus Notes Command Line Email Client?
Lotus Notes Command Line Email Client is a program for reading and sending mail from the command line. The purpose of the command line email client is to give users quick and easy way to check email without the overhead of a fat client. More importantly, the command line client can be used in scripts.
How does it work? The client uses Domino Java™ API to access Domino mail. The Domino
Java API is JNI-based thin layer of code that uses underlying native Notes DLL files to access Domino functions. This is why Lotus Notes must be installed locally, and it follows that only
Windows® clients are supported, with one exception.
Domino can be accessed remotely using Domino IIOP (DIIOP). To use remote access, the Domino server must be configured to use IIOP. Remote access also requires that users have their Internet user name and password set (Notes ID is not used with DIIOP but it is used with local access).
Note: Command line options of this version are not fully compatible with Versions 1.x. Most notably, sending mail now defaults to Domino, and if SMTP is desired, option -smtp must be specified and JavaMail classes must be found in the classpath. If one is using Version 1.x
to send mail from a script, it is recommended to continue using Lotus Notes Command Line Email Client 1.x.
